[Internet Comment Etiquette: "Relationships with AI"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnC2pV5pBtM)
... hadn't thought about Glenn Beck in a decade, that last interview was pretty wtf.
Not sure what the etiquette is for how long they should be dead before you talk to the AI-geist on youtube, but George Washington somehow feels weirder than Kirk did; idk.

Probably because Washington was a nuanced and deep person who, at the lightest, could be reduced to a colony-era [Cincinnatus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucius_Quinctius_Cincinnatus). His ethics were sufficiently developed that we can interrogate his ethical stance even without his physical presence. This isn't to say that Washington was a great person, but more to say that Kirk did not ever achieve that level of ethical development.
